Before the mid-19th century, clothing was custom-made. With the rise of technologies like the sewing machine and the factory system, clothing became mass-produced by the 20th century. Footwear dates back to the Chalcolithic era. Shoes were symbols of power and status for Romans. High-heeled shoes became fashionable in the 16th century.

What can be considered a fashion "accessory?"

Fashion accessories complement an outfit and express an individual's identity. They can be carried (purses, handbags, glasses) or worn (shoes, hats, belts, jewelry, etc.).
